We've got the kill team box set and we've got a ton of these to paint so thanks for this. Great way to get playing quick. Adeptus Mechanicus next maybe? 🙏
I’ve had my GSC minis since the release of Overkill and still haven’t decided on a colour scheme ha, but although this is a speed tutorial, I think I prefer this as it gives them a more life-like, grim dark feel. Cheers for the inspiration 👍
This is really effective, especially considering how quick it is. I think a light coloured base would actually make the model stand out more, worth a try?
Thanks - appreciate the feedback. Yeah definitely worth a go - worst comes to worst just paint over it. I was just worried it may become the focal point being lighter. I naturally like to paint dark at the bottom but doesn't mean I'm right.
The base coat used looks pretty dark here. Will Chaos Black spray give the same effect or do you still recommend Mechanicus Standard Gray spray? Lovely tutorial and got me in the mood to start a new army!
These look great! I just got some GSC guys as my first step into miniature gaming (gonna try out Kill Team). Appreciate the advice these look really nice. Do you normally glue the basing material before you start painting?
Thanks Matthew, glad you found it useful. Yeah I tend to build the model, glue the basing material to the base and then prime. The paint helps seal the basing down.
The painting pat was quite dark and only when you showed the whole squad at the end it finally looked as it should and I could see how the purple cloth looked. Great painting advises, but I think it would be better to have more light while painting.
Thanks. I realised this when editing and in subsequent videos if the model was a dark colour I've painted on a white background. Check out the one on painting eyes as an example. Appreciate the feedback too.
I’d start with whatever primer you want and then drybrush white over the whole model. Search for “Slapchop” to see the effect to get started. This will give you the best base to work from. If you start with dark primers you won’t see the colours over the top.
Try just dipping the tip in the paint and really brush it off onto paper towel. Try it on the rim of the base to see how much comes off. You almost want nothing going on but the more you do it the more it builds up.
The simpler the better as far as I'm concerned. I'm painting a cadian kill team at the moment full of highlights and weathering and they're taking so long to finish. As I get older I find I have more patience to actually complete models but it's always good to have quick but effective methods as well.
I like to take my time on some models but then stuff I want to paint to film with never really gets seen close up and I may not play as often so always looking for efficient ways of getting stuff playable.

Amazing you made that look so easy. I have 10 genestealers to do for a kill team this will be a fantastic help, thanks.

These are from my Kill Team box too. I've not even clipped the AdMech off the spue yet so will give them a go in the coming weeks.

Quick, simple & looks great! I’m enjoying these painting videos as their bite size which I like. Good job 🔥
Thanks buddy. Trying to keep them short and easy to follow. There's another one on painting yellow Marines (Imperial Fists) on Friday :)
Nice looking, simple paint scheme. Think I'll borrow this for my GSC.
Thansk man, Glad you found it helpful.
This was a great video, Andy. I'm leaning towards Genestealer Cults for 9th edition.
Thanks mate. Yeah this is super quick and I'm surprised just how good they look.
This is actually very helpful, I wanted to know what was needed before I went in to paint, and this really puts everything into perspective. Thanks!
Thanks Ian. Really glad its helping people and really appreciate you taking the time to comment too.
Nice go with my xenomorph themed genestealers.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼
Nice, good quick effective scheme.
Thanks!
This is awesome. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m gonna give this technique a go for my kill team
Hey Kari, really glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
great job, would love to see how you handle aberrants and acolytes
Thanks Beau. I've just been working on stuff I have at the moment but looking to expand this if becomes a popular video series.
I’m so happy I found this tutorial! What colours did you do for the carapace on the other neophytes?
Seriously good video Andy, like... woah they look amazing! Very Inq28!
Thanks fella. Simple and quick but hopefully effective to get them done.

Nicely done again. You’re smashing these out to a great standard.
Cheers mate. I'm enjoying doing them. Finding ways to speed things up is teaching me loads in the process too.
Just found this really like it. How would you paint the characters or acolytes who wear robes? Thanks!
The base coat used looks pretty dark here. Will Chaos Black spray give the same effect or do you still recommend Mechanicus Standard Gray spray? Lovely tutorial and got me in the mood to start a new army!
The grey just gives you an option to show shaded recesses with the wash. You wouldn't see that on black so much.
Hi thank you for the video. Do you think that is possible to use this paint scheme on all genestealer cults models?
Another awesome instalment... Between your vids and those of Atom Smasher (Tabletop Minions), my confidence is growing, albeit slowly... Lol
Thanks. As long as its growing then thats good news. Glad im helping in someway.

Stupid question here. When do you say light drybrush its like very very dry or that you apply very very light pressure? Or maybe both?
Both really Galan although all drybrushing uses very little paint but in this instance it’s light pressure to not over do it.
Good tips. I might use this. :)
Glad to help. Really simple and easy to blast through an army quickly.
@@BlackJackLegacy Impatience is one of my greatest failings so this will be of great use. :)
Well done!
Thanks Henry! 👍🏼
Good job mate
Cheers Nick.
Amazing!
Thanks very much Paul :)

@@BlackJackLegacy Yes, I saw that video and that one had much better lighting. Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy.
Ooow very dark, good job mate
Thanks mate. Nice quick job when you need to get them table ready fast.
Brilliant
Thanks man. Glad you like it.
Thank you Andy, these look more than acceptable to use in games, so no excuses anymore for those of us who didn't paint theirs yet. :>)
No worries. Glad they're breaking down some of the barriers for newer painters of for people who just want them painted asap.
Just had a second look and decided to paint a squad for Kill Team, thanks again. :>)
Can this be done with a black primer?
Not really - the problem is the washes need a lighter base to be able to show the detail. This would be lost over a black base.
How about a light grey primer?
I’d start with whatever primer you want and then drybrush white over the whole model. Search for “Slapchop” to see the effect to get started. This will give you the best base to work from. If you start with dark primers you won’t see the colours over the top.
Nice & simple... thanks, now all I need to do is learned to dry brush
Thansk James. What part of the drybrushing do you find difficult?
I still seem to leave to much paint on brush...so it comes out gloppy
Try just dipping the tip in the paint and really brush it off onto paper towel. Try it on the rim of the base to see how much comes off. You almost want nothing going on but the more you do it the more it builds up.
how did you do the blue on the tank of the gun? seen at 5:55?
I forget the exact colour but it was just a light blue then a blue wash. Nothing fancy.
@@BlackJackLegacy so drybrush with the lightblue then wash? they look amazing.
astro mustard - not even a dry brush. Just painted it normally and then a blue wash. I’ll check the exact paint name when I’m home 👍🏼
Superb
Really glad you liked it. I’m always a little worried they’re a bit simple and “teaching people to suck eggs” but they seem to be going down well.
